Anyone seen any of these in a bone yard? I'm wanting to know how much & who has what.

- headlight ring
-left front fender
-Ibeams, spindles, etc for disc swap
-steering box, pump, & bracketry for P.S. swap

 

We have a couple of good boneyards around here with lots of older stuff. I'm just getting ready to go and hit the one closest to my house (about 4 miles away) in a little while, I always check to see what they have in the '67-72 range (and it's quite a bit.) I'll check specifically for F-100s when I go there today and let you know.

 

Riverside in Riverbank is big in Fords, but not sure how far back they go.

I haven't been to the old yards down on 9th and 7th streets in Modesto in quite a few years so not sure what they hve anymore.

I was at Oakdale Auto Wreckers (the old "Fees") a few years ago, several 60's, 70's cars and trucks still.

 

Well, I found a few F-100s today, both long and shortbed, a '67, a '69, a '73, '75 and '77. All fairly complete. Anything in particular you're looking for, Dale?

Also ran across a '61 Unibody Slick. No motor, fairly straight body with no major rust visible. Looks a pontentiqlly cool project, I could just see a 4.6 under the hood, or maybe the BMW V12 they had...

 

I think I'll go hit the local ones & see what they got, like Riverside, and Ca auto on 9th, and the old place on 7th(I saw a dent side from the freeway the other day). On the newer trucks, I'd like to find: Ibeams, spindles, etc for disc swap.
Then, a steering box, pump, & bracketry for P.S. swap

 

My '68 and '72 both have disc brakes. I'm planning to swap the beams and all out of the '72 into the '68. as the front end is a little sloppy on the '68 and the '72 was all rebuilt a just a few thousand miles before it was taken off the road. I'd like to put discs under the front of my E-300 van conversion motorhome, but the truck stuff is different so I'll just have to scrounge something.

The other thing is that the '72 has the Saginaw P/S box, while the '68 has the Bendix. Since it's tough to fit headers with a Bendix box, I'm going to swap the Saginaw box into the '68 so I can finally install my headers. But the '72 has this big, ugly camper on it and I have to get rid of that before I can start tearing into the '72, since it won't be too mobile with no front suspension. At least until I can swap leaf springs and a Dana 44 under it in preparation for building it into our chapter mud bogger.

 

Dan, were any of those wrecking yead trucks six cylinder? I am having trouble with the engine perches for my swap.

Everyone says they are the same - but my engine sits to high.

 

I do recall seeing a couple of six-bangers, Clint. I'm planning to go back next week, I can take a closer look.
